IPC: C21B13/02
Filed: 1994-11-21
Abstract: A process for the production of iron from ferrous raw materials in a converter containing an initial iron smelt into which at least fuels, oxygenous gases and ferrous raw materials are introduced during the production phase, the reaction gases being afterburned with oxidizing gases in the gas space of the converter above the smelt and the resulting heat transferred to the iron bath, and a partial amount of iron smelt being tapped after the production phase and a next initial iron smelt remaining in the converter for the next production phase, wherein the weight of the initial iron smelt is between 10 % and 60 % , based on the weigth of the iron smelt present in the converter after the production phase and before the partial amount is tapped, and the ferrous raw materials are fed continuously to the iron smelt through the gas space of the converter during the production phase while at the same time oxygenous gases containing no more than 50 % oxygen are blown continuously onto the surface of the smelt. <IMAGE>

Title: Data storage devices
Inventor: SAINT GEORGE
IPC: G11B20/12
Filed: 1983-11-29
Granted: 1986-04-09
Abstract: To provide a data store in which a data carrier (T) can hold a vast quantity of data and give rapid access, a format of parallel tracks is used each starting with a unique track identity number and a unique relationship to one or more longitudinal control tracks (B, C) which provide for high speed mode search, and low speed mode location, using video tape-recording servo-systems to surprising advantage. Coarse location of a required group of tracks may be provided by coded signal sequences on one control track (B1) and invididual tracks identified by coded signal sequence in a further longitudinal control track (B2). In one embodiment only the control track passes a reading head in the high speed mode, and in the slow mode the carrier is wound to half embrace a helical scanning drum carrying a plurality of heads. Read only devices may be provided for use as a reference source in library or computer installations possibly with multi-user and/or multi-bus facilities. Where required provision may be included for recording and/or read-out of stored data, but the control track sequence is preferably pre-recorded and constant. The data carrier can be in a preferred embodiment, a flexible tape in a cassette, but open reel-to-reel systems, short strips semi-rigid cards or rigid plates or drums can be used. The recording method can be magnetic or one of a variety of optical systems, and the data may be computer data, text, graphics video, or any combination thereof.

Title: System recovery
Inventor: FARHUMA NISSIM
IPC: G06F11/14
Filed: 1991-08-24
Granted: 1995-05-10
Abstract: A software-initiated system reset 10 is generated in response to invalid interrupts generated within a system which comprises control means for maintaining system control, and at least one device external to and under the control of the control means. An assessment as to the validity of an interrupt generated within the system is made, 14, whereupon the system reset is actuated, 15-19, 21-24, in response to an invalid interrupt and a software generated system reset signal is provided for the external device. Moreover, the actuation of the system reset causes the external device to be reset together with the control means. The invention alleviates problems, caused by inappropriate accessing of normally-unused interrupt vectors, due e.g. to noise spikes, RF transmissions and hardware or software failures. <IMAGE>

Title: Signal transmission system
Inventor: ARNOLD PHILIP ANDREW
IPC: H04B10/00
Filed: 1999-03-12
Granted: 2001-06-20
Abstract: A signal transmission system has a number of wave division multiplex optical carriers linking a number of switching units arranged in a closed ring network. The carriers are amplified to compensate for loss and attenuation, but the ring gain of each carrier must be less than unity to prevent unwanted signal oscillation. An automatic gain control arrangement is operative for each optical carrier which is detected as being present at a switching unit, and the gain control is disabled for each carrier which is detected as being absent.

Title: Electric radiation source and irradiation system with this radiation source
Inventor: HITZSCHKE LOTHAR
IPC: H01J65/04
Filed: 1997-09-08
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/DE97/01989 Sec. 371 Date May 6, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date May 6, 1998 PCT Filed Sep. 8, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO98/11596 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 19, 1998A radiation source, in particular a discharge lamp suitable for operating a dielectrically hindered pulsed discharge by means of a ballast, has at least one electrode separated by dielectric material from the inside of the discharge vessel. By appropriately designing at least one of the electrodes and/or the dielectric material, local field reinforcement areas are created, so that during the pulsed mode of operation one or more dielectrically hindered individual discharges are generated exclusively in these areas, maximum one individual discharge being generated in each area. These areas are obtained in particular by shortening the spacing in locally limited areas, for example by providing on one of the electrodes hemispherical projections which extend towards the counter-electrode. This measure achieves a timestable discharge structure with a high useful radiation effectiveness uniformly distributed throughout the discharge vessel.

Title: Control circuit for variable displacement pump
Inventor: SPIVEY WILLIAM J
IPC: F15B/
Filed: 1980-05-27
Granted: 1986-06-25
Abstract: The variable displacement pump is used in a hydrostatic transmission in order to control the operating mechanism in a motor vehicle. The pump is controlled by a circuit containing fluid under pressure and the control may be over ridden selectively. A pump (11) with positive displacement is driven by a motor to provide a fluid under pressure in an inlet pipe (12) for a control circuit. The primary control comprises a control lever (14) which is displaced in a slot (15) by the user to set a three position value (16) to one of its positions. This controls selectively the operation and displacement of a variable displacement pump (P) driven by a motor (M). A pedal (27) allows the user to over ride the control by operation of a rotary valve (28) which allows the pump displacement to be modified.
